Pro-Life Open Forum

Ethical questions seem to multiply as medical science advances. Dr. George Delgado takes listener calls about the beginning and end of life and about the proper use of medical technology.

Questions Covered:

19:45 - My water broke when I was 15 weeks pregnant. Doctors counselled abortion. I carried my daughter to 28 weeks and contracted chorioamnionitis. Rather than counseling abortion, what would be the pro-life way to treat this situation?

32:34 - Someone in my family is pregnant with twins who have twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. One twin is dying and the other is getting too much blood. One course of action gives the twins a 60/40 chance of surviving. Another course would be to sacrifice one twin to save the other. What should I recommend?

44:30 - Is there an official teaching from the Catholic Church﻿ on when life begins and abortion?

50:20 - I see a lot of advertisements for things regarding stem cells. How do I know if these things are okay?
